a y8 is a obd2 SOHC VTEC 1.6L
go talk around on homemadeturbo.com. there are a few guys over there making gobs of power on d series. one guy over there was making like 304 at the wheels on a stock bottom end w/ a t3/4, that was on a z6 though. basically the same motor. if i were you i would hold off on boosting the motor until you have pretty much everything together that you need. i think the limiting factor you will have on boost at the get go will be using the v-afc hack...because i've heard using over 10-11ish psi on those throws a MAP code...
